A Markham (Ill.) newspaper has exposed how a political appointee has been using police officers to taxi him around the city on personal errands, and that dispatchers used a special radio code to dispatch the officers to the assignments. Police and fire board commissioner Roland Ray Ashley was followed by a reporter and photographer one day as he made errands in the Chicago suburb, chauffeured by one of two officers who handle the assignment, which apparently is considered a good one. Dispatchers use the code “Watch 3: 1059″ to send an officer to Ashley’s home to pick him up. Read more about the practice here.
